Default Where is SHV already being sold? Post here if you have gotten a copy already

Okey - a bit confused here. Where is the gaming being sold already?

I know Canada had an early start. Anywhere else?

Myself, I have bought it over counter here in Bergen, Norway.

People have been buying it and playing it for the last two days.

Don't you read the forums?

No where to be found in Indiana. ha, no surprise there! Freaking land locked! (well, there is a big lake north of us).

It's funny how the first copies were sighted in Halifax, where all the convoys grouped up to head over the pond. And the author of this thread is from Bergen, which I've read recently, was attacked during the war by the German navy. Would be "neat" to be from one of the cities involved, and then be able to recreate with the simulation!

Same here in Graz/Austria.
So i preordered at gameware.at - they already have it in stock, and are shipping. So if you order today before 15:00, you should receive the game tomorrow (wenn die liebe Post nicht schlampt . Ich habe gestern abend bestellt und gehe davon aus, dass heute verschickt und morgen zugestellt wird)

I have pre-ordered it at www.bol.com at the Netherlands.

It isn`t a problem to wait some days.

Grüße aus Innsbruck!

Naja, ich wollte mir nicht ein Spiel von Innsbruck nach Innsbruck schicken lassen, Gameware ist nur 5 Minuten von mir entfernt. Ich muss die mal irgendwie bestechen, damit sie mir das Zeug früher rüberwachsen lassen. Tja, dann wart ich halt noch bis übermorgen

Thanks for the links! And understand I mean no disrespect when I said it would be "neat" to be from a city that suffered during the war. Just from a simulation standpoint.
